About

Outside of my work, I enjoy training for Yoga and Capoeira. I love forest and ocean and enjoy walking in the beauty of nature. I look forward to living in beautiful Bellingham and getting to know my colleagues, students and Western Washington Community.

Research Interests:

Sensor Network Prediction, Graph Representation, Graphical Features, and Machine Learning

Educational & Professional Experience:

I joined at Western Washington University in Fall 2020 as teaching faculty. Before joining at Western, I taught at California State University at Fullerton for a semester. I received my PhD from Washington State University. My doctoral study was on applying graph-based approaches to sensor network prediction tasks. At Western, I am teaching courses on Systems, Data Structures, Algorithms and Ethics in Computer Science.
